Related: About this forumThe 12 Days of Congress
'Tis the season to reflect on Congressional Republicans' priorities in 2013, an agenda best described as an endless cornucopia of giveaways for the rich and best captured in song.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is releasing a holiday anthem that sums up Republicans' agenda -- "12 Days of Congress" -- and offering millions of supporters free downloads so they can add the tune to their holiday playlists. The song can also be downloaded as a ringtone and is available at: http://12daysofcongress.tumblr.com.
In a quartet led by Bowzer from Sha Na Na, the song details 12 of the wrong-headed priorities that Republicans have doubled down on in this Congress.
"From bonuses for bigwigs to Big Oil subsidies, Republicans in Congress have stuffed some extra special goodies in the stockings of corporations and the ultra-wealthy this year, while giving the middle class a lump of coal," said Emily Bittner of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "The best holiday present the American people can give themselves next year will be getting rid of these Grinches."

Good voices, truer than true lyrics, and just a brilliant idea to get out the true meaning of Christmas to these greedmongers.
thanks for posting, sheshe~ Hopefully we won't have to be playing this tune next Christmas!
